Once the damage is accurately assessed, we'll provide you with an estimate for our exceptional cleaning and restoration services.

Time is of the Essence When Dealing With Smoke Damage

Smoke can swiftly cause damage to your home. Within minutes, it can discolor walls, and in a matter of hours, it can tarnish finishes on kitchen appliances. Other smoke damage includes etching in glass, tarnished metal, and damage and corrosion to various materials throughout your property. That's why it's crucial to promptly contact a professional restoration company after experiencing a fire. ServiceMaster DSI is available 24/7 to help minimize the damage to your home and initiate the restoration process promptly.

Our soot and smoke damage cleaning process:

  • Cleaning any accumulated ash residue before it spreads further.
  • Neutralizing lingering odors.
  • Removing soot, odors, or stains from at-risk items, including tile, porcelain, chrome, brass, aluminum, and marble.
  • Cleaning carpets, fabrics, and upholstery.
  • Deodorizing curtains and carpeting before cleaning.
  • Utilizing advanced chemicals that break down smoke molecules, effectively eliminating odors before dry cleaning your clothes.

Tips to Minimize Soot and Smoke Damage

In addition to contacting ServiceMaster DSI for professional assistance with your home's restoration, you can take measures to minimize damage to your property:

  • If the temperature permits, air out your house to reduce smoke odor.
  • Change the air filter on your forced hot air furnace.
  • Avoid touching any damaged areas with your hands, as the oils from your skin can further permeate walls, woodwork, and upholstery, exacerbating the damage.
  • Refrain from washing the walls, as this can compound the soot residue.

In summary, attempting to clean your home after a fire is not advised. The clean-up process requires the expertise of a professional team that specializes in fire and smoke restoration. At ServiceMaster DSI, we're available 24/7/365 to restore your home and provide you with peace of mind.
